Introduction to Product

A label is a piece of cloth, paper, plastic film, metal, or other material affixed to a product, and has written or printed information about the product. Linerless labels are pressure-sensitive labels that do not have a backing paper or release liner. They have special release coating applied to the face of the label that allows the labels to be wound on a roll without the adhesive sticking to the label below it. These labels are comprised of anti-counterfeiting properties along with tracing and tracking technologies to aid manufacturers to keep their track of internal processing and packaging, incoming ingredients, and outgoing shipments to traders. They are available with a variety of adhesives according to the requirement and are free of waste, hassle, and liner.
